Cohesion Teams with Dolphin to Offer A Complete Design, Debug and Simulation Flow For Mixed Signal/HDL Development.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers WOODSIDE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 19, 2002 Cohesion Systems, Inc., a developer of EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. software that accelerates the creation and verification of complex designs, today announced a partnership with Dolphin Integration to offer SmashLog -- an integrated design The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. Please help [ improve the introduction] to meet Wikipedia's layout standards. You can discuss the issue on the talk page. creation and multi-language simulation workflow for Mixed Signal design. SmashLog combines Cohesion's Chip Designer -- a powerful design and debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. environment for Full Custom IC, Analog and Mixed Signal design, with Dolphin's multi-lingual simulator mixing Verilog and VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) A hardware description language (HDL) used to design electronic systems at the component, board and system level. VHDL allows models to be developed at a very high level of abstraction. in a single engine. According to Jesse Newcomb, Cohesion's vice president of engineering, "The tight integration of this combined offering provides a single unified environment for design and simulation with seamless cross-probing. Verilog and VHDL text design are integrated with schematics into one Mixed Signal HDL (Hardware Description Language) A language used to describe the functions of an electronic circuit for documentation, simulation or logic synthesis (or all three). Although many proprietary HDLs have been developed, Verilog and VHDL are the major standards. design and simulation flow." Michel de Peyrot, president of Dolphin, stated, "We have been working with Cohesion for the past three years, reselling Cohesion's Chip Designer to front end our Smash Verilog/VHDL simulator for Mixed Signal design. Cohesion's Chip Designer's open API, capability to cross probe to simulation and waveform viewing, and core unified design database provides us with the opportunity to construct and bring to market complete design flows that meet the needs of our customers." Michel Saia, Cohesion's vice president of sales, added, "Our partnership with Dolphin is the first implementation of a new program we call Powered By Cohesion, where we team with other EDA vendors to combine the power our design and debug environment with downstream applications. Our customers are looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. both complete workflow integration and the ability to select best of breed applications for their specific design environment. We expect to launch additional Powered By Cohesion workflows over the next few months in response to specific market demand." SmashLog is available from Dolphin, www.dolphin-integration.com, priced at $9750 USD USD In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the U.S. Dollar.

The product is available on Windows, UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). and Linux platforms. The design database is 100% compatible between these operating systems to support project teams working at different locations, in different computing environments.
